What is memorabilia? Mementos, souvenirs, keepsakes, and treasures, a whiff of aftershave, a pressed flower, a love letter, a baby’s knit hat. As Webster says, it’s anything that stirs a recollection. It conjures up nostalgia, sentimental thoughts of days gone by when we imagined things were simpler.
I am a scrapbook artist. More specifically, a digital scrapbook artist. Since it is said, a picture is worth a thousand words, one snapshot contains hours of memorabilia. The scrapbooking phenomenon has given us tools to showcase not only our pictures, but our stories through journaling and recording everyday events. It’s become the modern diary.
In Everyday Memorabilia, I want to share with you ideas for preserving your precious memories, and, I hope you’ll have ideas for me as well.
